BROOMFIELD, Colo., Oct. 07, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- StockIQ, a leading provider of supply chain planning software for manufacturers and distributors, has launched Edison, its new AI supply chain intelligence agent designed to help planners, buyers, and other supply chain leaders make informed, data-backed decisions, even in a complex and unpredictable business environment. According to the release, 67% of supply chain leaders view AI as a top investment priority, but the current deployment of AI solutions often lacks the necessary context to inform decision-making and fully understand the intricacies of supply chain management.
The release highlights that current AI implementations are often generic, utilizing general Large Language Models (LLMs) or chatbots to try and understand complex inventory logic, ERP context, or planning workflows. These generic solutions provide feedback based on a broad range of industry indicators or, worse, surface a trove of data that planners spend three to five times more time digging through than making critical business decisions. Consequently, 55% of chief supply chain officers and executives are uncertain about the business value of AI despite investments ramping up.
In reality, the best inventory decisions happen when AI amplifies human intelligence. AI should not be relied upon to replace planners, but to enable them to work more efficiently and ensure their focus is on the most critical business problems. This is why StockIQ has developed Edison, an AI supply chain intelligence agent embedded within its core architecture. Edison acts as an intelligent supply chain agent that continuously synthesizes inventory, demand signals, live ERP data, and turns insights into actionable recommendations, all while supporting decision makers across the supply chain.
The release states that Edison has four core capabilities: Edison Insights, which continuously monitors inventory, demand signals, and supplier data to illuminate risks and anomalies before they become problems; Edison Recommendations, which provide clear, explainable recommendations with a root cause and reasoning behind every suggested action; Edison Forecasts, which offer real-time forecasts based on the latest signals, ensuring teams have a forward-looking view that is always current; and Edison-Automated Workflows, which seamlessly integrate with any ERP system, along with businesses' forecasting and inventory data, making planning for the unpredictable (and taking action) easier than ever, from sending emails to expediting purchase orders.
Edison is built with a unique understanding of inventory logic, ERP context, and planning workflows, allowing it to support decision makers across the supply chain. By asking questions and providing plain-language recommendations, Edison empowers planners to transform insights into tactical execution, such as placing orders, updating inventory policies, managing workflows, and more. This enables planners to work better and faster, even in the most unprecedented circumstances.
